Best Dimensionless Poems
What is life?
Euphonies, cacophonies and chromosomal anomalies
intertangled destinies and illusive methodologies
Occurring in obscure dimensionless time
Millenniums fertilized to create the sublime
Perceived by ideations so pure it would seem
To exist beyond mind and to all in between.
Lingering as lore to an all distant past
There is no redo, there is no redraft.
The questions, the answers so rightly proclaimed
are composed and transported by thoughts still unnamed.
In limited struggle, the moments unspent
Become the result of a living lament.
In what and wherefore and why and with whom
we unwrap our existence in this paradoxical womb
Can we find meaning, a clear sign that we see
inclusive to all, this existential decree.
From naught made of all and conceived in a star,
we landed on earth, neither near nor afar
For reasons unknown and telegnosis unclear,
These salient projections are all jockeyed by fear
We stand in the way of unknowing surmise
And find the world is still much a surprise.
A quest overwhelming in distressed sanity
For answers not known play havoc to vanity.
To end these remarks with a questionable phrase
all becomes known in 'one of these days.'
SYNOPSIS
From the moment of birth to when we die, life presents us with dilemmas and questions that amuse, titillate and confuse us. As we get older, we realize that what we thought we knew was all pure conjecture. This poem is meant to reflect the myriad of disjointed thoughts that have run through my mind throughout the years. The "why me?" and "what is my purpose in life?" questions usually are met with ambiguity and incoherence.
Many of us are beleaguered with these conceits and although some find solace in religion, for people like me it becomes an existential never ending struggle.

Pointing her index finger towards me,
with a frown asked the young fair lady,
"Do you know the definition of points?"
To me it was a big disappointment.
At that point among us ,the back benchers,
a discussion about lovers' point was 'on' there,
it was then the question was thrown to me,
"Answer must be to the point"yelled she!
Various points were coming to my mind then,
did she ask for 'point' or 'points' in question?
No point in asking her to repeat it,
started thinking about the point(s) little bit.
Seeing me blank and pointless till then,
one of the friend poke my back with pointed pen,
along it came a whisper in my ear,
"to pinpoint the answer you just look at her!"
As I looked at her reddened and angry face,
the answer came to my mind with a sudden flash,
"Madam,a point is a dimensionless slender dot,
just like your little cute beauty spot!"

"Walking on Water in the Between Worlds Place"
when darkness came
the remaining,
those beautiful
transingularity
neo-automatons,
imbued with dark matters
running through the wired
dendrites of their splintered brain,
where implanted, the voices
of the neo-god speaks
instructing those
voluptuous and fresh
criminal bodies
calling the hungry
and wanton in, like magnets -
the soft sell was easy.
all hard served, fast and slick.
at first visceral, then,
it was deemed
the intellect wasn’t
necessary -
the new sensual feeling,
bodies and mind
caressed by a
small Neuralink RFID.
like snow white
encased in silicate glass,
for a while asleep, when
turned on, very much
awake.
some called it,
the great gambling chip;
flashing light signals
heavy free energy sitting
on malleable shoulders
that danced wars robotic,
puppets chained and pulled
like walking torture chambers,
loaded cartridges spinning
metal hearts cloned to ignite
like atomic bombs kissing
seconds to midnight.
clockwork armies
were laid bare
by the fire behind
eyes alone, sharp knives
like lasers eviscerate
those transfixed to
a new state of -
"Behold
I am come
Home";
they all eventually
implode to the
nowhere place.
only Love injected
into what exists soulless
half djinn in that desolate
between worlds place,
with a kiss, passed on the
voiceless tongue,
the tablets, wafer thin,
now like Moses speak -
a new ecstasy
melting the monochrome
back to barely human
on their pronoun knees.
targets sometimes
could be saved
before the strangest
Winter arrived
in the underworld,
its new revolution -
revelations raging
in the time of the
chromatic wasting,
chronicles of the unsaved
walking on water
in the between worlds place
the children of Lot
lost in the grips
of the new world
that dreadful
dimensionless
judgement domain
forever in
episcop-alien
glitch
on repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat

It unfurls itself along the x-axis
with a contained passion, fluctuating
between -1 and 1 like a photon
whose brightness is one of an infinite number
of dimensionless values, coherent, distinguishable,
continuous.
It is counterintuitively optimistic; it insists
that half of a pie should be called pi radians.
It confuses to enlighten; it sends our minds rolling
through loops, performing flips and inversions
until we step backward
and see a straight line.

Luminescent shadows follow me around, but vanish as I ask who’s there?
Scary monsters and super creeps wait on every corner; a voice whispers beware
I start running I’m trying to gather pace; I’m running faster and faster but I hardly move
The faster I run the slower the cadence becomes; asks the whisper what do you have to prove?
Am I running from monsters past or ghosts hiding in the future?
I turn my head frantically to listen; the whisper is faint in the viscous ether
My pillow absorbs my drenching sweat, my legs kick and run, no stable ground
Frightened heartbeats, timid murmurs beg for reprieve, no more whisper, I can’t hear the gentle sound
Images changing proportions, gravitation bending scary faces
Electromagnetic transformations, shadows form a gigantic ghost
No awakening, remain in your abyss, where is the whisper I need most
My consciousness is chained by subconscious spectres; confront the phantom, the chains do not break
Oh gentle whisper cut me loose, help me to these images forsake
Collisions, particles bombarding subliminal pores, expose my soul to ricochets of guilt, conflict, pain
Prescribed orbits, predetermined order or tangents of love and desire
What to do, whisper to me, I am become insane
I spiral down into depths unknown to conscious science
More scary monsters, more super creeps, more shadows changing hue
Awake from this abysmal torture, send a whisper, bring me back to you
Sticky ghouls and distant memories collide with alpha particles and gamma rays
Chromatic aberrations confuse my vision and distort awaiting silhouettes
I too collide, I too am distorted as I enter the chasm where the mind forgets
Subatomic beings coagulate as memories; juries of demons saturate gaseous mixtures
Bubbles and froth and osmotic spirits, hallucinations from black and white pictures
Parallel curves and helical lines bend and warp my mind, I cry I scream I want I need, break free!
No space no time no light no sound no love; guilty condemnation, empty reality
The central singularity beckons, no return from unconscious waste
Anonymous fields bind me, commanding struggle to abate
Dimensionless objects, cold physics, primordial fear; Nightmare, no reprieve, take me to my fate.

Universal united nations {u.u.n} tying all the galactic species in celestial socialism
Robotic republicans & dimensionless democrats
All humanities races will melt together into a weird orangey color
The soviets will turn Cruthnie into a super secret nuclear facility
All drugs will be trans-dermal
Gluttony will be glorified
Itll be illegal to naturally procreate "pick up a kid or pet at the genetic clinic
Garbage will be used as fuel
Itll be cool to be mindless
In my visions i see sky cities and underground dwellings segregating classes
73 eyes on the beasts back and 96 paratoidals to an orbital octant... end transmission

"When Heaven Opened Up"
And when Heaven opened up
There, the dragon finally approached;
St George embraced Her Truth
The mother waiting for an apology
that never came, withdrew Her sword
Her heart gone all Light, full and golden,
is seen to do the unthinkable,
exchanges forgiveness with the heartbroken,
the one far fallen, who by necessity has finally won
Her only freedom gate token;
She remains behind
standing poetic with the soliloquy guards
dimensionless, watching over
the written
not spoken

"So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" / Grimes
https://youtu.be/iH0kfH04U68
"Sometimes you have to lose to win".
"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive
is devoid of the power to love.
There is some good in the worst of us
and some evil in the best of us.
When we discover this,
we are less prone to hate our enemies."
"Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."
"The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
"If you ever get a second chance in life for something,
you’ve got to go all the way."
"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children."
William Makepeace Thackeray

.............iiiiiiiii.................
strewn on the laboring dark much too quenched
by the very ink of a smothering wind, her layered cry
out-thumps a mortal bid of wretched reels defining
some plea of farewell, “ go and leave me to dwindle
in the dust; save yourself if you must!”… her vanishing
beads of rosary melt on the salt of a thunder groan
withering among phantoms of shapeless, unknown sands
now so ravaged by the stark black of a night disheveled
by hairs of fear and rotting despair. it is said that a flicker
of moon throbbing inside her reached out , extracting this
sliver of light to glimmer among her inner veins,
that for some blessed hint of phoenix rising
she clasps that golden orb whirling on a dot
of flame, as if to whisper,” claim me in your hands
and release this golden ray.. let it touch his head,
across the blind drifts of vapors cast by
Laverna's spell. be the one.. be one to bridge the light.”
as blankness looms between curtains of time tipsy,
her knees figure in a sway limping yet running in a daze
beyond a dimensionless pace opening a gateway that zooms
glittering spins unto his cinder-ash head… and his power
flashes a might of bolt piercing the blank gloom of doom,
an exuberant eternal dawn burns where life forms arise.

Lost?
Found.
Never has life's cruel temper dealt its deceiving hand as this day
Lost-found in a place, living know not.
Kinship friendship - words, verbiage to describe mortal bonds
While those of the soul grasp bonds endless and dimensionless
Youth is but a stage of dying
Time cruel to its very essence. Time blows through us all as our sight through glass
Its dark fingers paint our walls and carry us to our HOLMES
Its cruelty is its existence. Defining agony, depriving experience
Youth felt emotion lost through existence
Found youth soul existence beyond comprehension
Youth to us all? Youth has been lost but found where else
But where time confronts us all.

SOULS in EARTH
“Intrinsic implicit immortal soul,”
Sincere sensible saints, sages said so.
Is it admissible? How could I know?
How does Absolute Truth play its role?
Does inside mortal body reside soul?
Body dies out. Where does soul hide, or go?
Dimensionless? Opaque? Or shine to glow?
Is cycle of human life bound to roll?
Do animals, trees or microbes have soul?
Or, only humans are lucky to own?
Neither proved nor definitely known.
Is human destined to different goal?
Body is alive till brain works and acts sole.
Brain stops functioning, body to forego.
If soul really exists, where can it go?
Is there separate hub reserved for soul?
Do free souls just float in infinite space?
Or, rush to settle on novel fetus?
Do more souls sprout to match new living race?
Does soul exist in every living mass?
Who can search and tell of Absolute Truth?
Eternal query goes on through ages.
To get answer is not easy or smooth
for educators or saints or sages.
Are souls entitled to put any wish !
Or are bound te to follow scheduled path !
Anywhere in Universe or in Earth?
Reincarnation or Metamorphosis ?

“Intrinsic implicit immortal soul,”
Sincere sensible saints, sages said so.
Is it admissible? How could I know?
Ignorant me to play a puppet’s role.
Does inside mortal body reside soul?
Body dies out. Where does soul hide, or go?
Dimensionless? Opaque? Or shine to glow?
Is cycle of human life bound to roll?
Do animals, trees or microbes own soul?
Or, only humans are lucky to owe?
Human is animal, Nature to show.
Is human destined to different goal?
Body is alive till brain works and acts sole.
Brain stops functioning, body to forego.
If soul really exists, where can it go?
Is there separate hub to dwell for soul?
Do free souls just float in infinite space?
Or, rush to settle on novel fetus?
How is journey of immortality?
Do more souls sprout to match new living race?
Does soul exist in any living mass?
Or, souls just extend to infinity?

Dimensionless boundaries seem to please
Till the existence of some soul finally cease
The modern world registers human reach
Technology still humble to break its peace
Heaven made of splendour beyond we think
The journey to space gave imagination a hint
Shine of stars brightest to make eyes blink
No one can capture the glory of it all in print
Saints call it Garden of Eden with Holy spring
Wish to be its part once the death bell rings
A place of rebirth where blessed souls sing
Joy ride of heaven charity is thought to bring
Scientists research on subjects they are keen
Delve into the universe to see heavenly scene
Galaxy and stellar remnants as heaven deem
Unearth some life at Moon is the basic theme
Ah! Is it all heaven as Humans believe and speak
Then why the elemental explanations still weak
The kingdom of God is at transcendental realm
Universe caress it as the possible Holiest Place.
Accessible by humans after virtuous living days
Lightened by “Serene Stars” , guided by Milky Way!
Nurtured by “Mild Moon”, good errands pay
Rekindling positive hopes the shining Sun’s rays…
O’ Heaven – an abode for man’s final destination
Showers love to all without discrimination
“Execute good” thus embraced by all religions
Looked after by God and all its manifestations
“Seamless Heaven” spreading far its feather
Inexplicably wondrous like the womb of Mother!
Scientific notations only space travels can gather
For divine sessions – Just be true to family and nation
Spiritual Sight will be gifted in afterlife
To feel the truth of nature….ever and later….

I awaken, alarmed by contagion’s dread,
by the advancing bubonic omen.
My muscular spasms unleash, involuntarily.
My astonished malediction yawns, cavernous.
I gawk vacantly in my remaining moments,
at icy stones beneath my trembling feet.
Just a prisoner, I conclude.
Just an incorrigible coward.
Inconsolable, impotent, lachrymose,
I await my execution.
My penalty decreed in infectious agent.
My sentence prescribed in replicating pathogen.
Cacophonous are my incessant night terrors,
allying insomnia with somnambulism,
compounding calamity with conception.
No redemption in these ranting forecasts.
But I cannot reduce the fever.
And raving violence only deepens.
Yet, when capacity breathes hush in my channel,
I close my eyes.
Letting go is migrating sentience.
I am the silent release departing.
With my interior eye of providence,
I verify the amber brilliance,
this luz de Amarillo,
The Quaker’s inner light.
The Hindu’s moksha.
The Shaker’s simple gifts.
The Buddha’s luminous mind.
Dimensionless.
Breathing again, radiant rapture quenching.
Breathing again, from the riverbank,
watching mortal suffering float by.
And in Yoga, the knots of trauma
dispel from my vertebrate. My spinal lesson,
the simplest song for which I find no words.
My lives and deaths are passing weather systems.
Forbearance offers pristine extinction.

My hand in yours,
Your hand in mine;
Holding on tight,
Fingers entwine.
Myriad promises,
Between our palms;
Reaching out across,
With outstretched arms.
Silent troths,
Exchanged in breath;
Keeping close,
Condensed to warmth.
We danced around,
Round and round;
In a merry-go-round,
Of love profound.
Like a game of
Ring around a rosy;
Whirling to the rhythm,
Of love until dizzy.
Colors around, blurred
Into a spiral fantasy;
Drunk with love,
Hearts filled with ecstasy.
Before my eyes,
Your cheerful face;
Against the surrounding,
Fleeting space.
Your laughter like
The bells, jingling;
Breaking the silence,
With its music, tinkling.
I surrendered to,
The glory in your eyes;
Hypnotized by,
The honey in your voice.
Lost myself in
The maze of your soul;
The hurricane of love,
Swallowed me as a whole.
Mesmerized by
The magic of your touch;
Pulled along,
An erratic tornado as such.
My naïve listlessness,
Numbed my senses;
And I don’t know when,
Through the fences.
Your fingers slipped,
Away from mine;
And you disappeared,
Without a sign.
I stand here confused,
Lost in darkness;
In an eccentric universe,
Forlorn and dimensionless.
I don’t even know,
If it was my fault;
To let you slip away
And come to a halt.
Or you cleverly escaped,
My loosened grip;
Before our relationship,
Fell off the tip.
All alone, lonely ,without you,
Enveloped by an eerie emptiness;
My solitary world is haunted,
By your shadows, dark and faceless.
Cast into a silent spell,
I stand, motionless and still;
But the abyss around me,
Still spins in endless circles.
